LG24-05: Canned Shave Goop

• Brush: Eberbart 24mm Best Badger Badger Knot
• Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic Razor
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [2]
• Lather: Speick - Men Active - Soap
• Post Shave: Cella - Lozione Dopobarba - Aftershave Lotion
• Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Man Gravity - Eau de Toilette

Today was a comedy of errors. It started with the challenge: bowl lathering instead of my now usual face lathering. I think during my first LG I was still bowl lathering, and probably with this same brush.

I was a bowl lathering pro. But today? It was like watching a baby giraffe learn to walk. Somehow, in trying to create a decent lather, I managed to drop my brush right into the sink. Water splashed everywhere, and I was left fumbling during this awkward endeavor. I swear, I used to be good at this.

The razor, which I picked up last year at the local Apotheke (pharmacy) for this theme, is a nightmare to use. It's plastic clamping mechanism is garbage. I knew it was going to be a disaster, and yet, I went ahead and used it anyway. What does that say about me? Probably that I'm a glutton for punishment and Internet points.

At least the shaving soap and splash were a win. Throw a rock and good local supplies can be found around here. Thank goodness for small victories!
